Is anyone else super drained from being pregnant? I stopped drinking caffeine (I was a redbull addict, bad I know) and I'm a FTM and I was wondering if y'all had any good tips for healthy energy?! Because I've been so lazy to even get ready now a days lol I'm due in September and they said you'd get more energy 2nd trimester but I don't feel it! Anyways if y'all had any great tips they'd be greatly appreciated!

I cycle my hair styles out. So I wash and wear wet the first day. Then the second day I curl it under with a straight iron. Then the third day it looks cute still in a messy bun or Poni and some Dry shampoo.

Then wash and repeat for day 4.

Then my makeup is a lot less than usual. I do a moisturizer and power some light eye makeup and a lip. Takes 5 min.

I used to cry because of how drained I was, trying to work and go to school & still do all the studying and assignments haha I got more energy my 3rd trimester. I was due August 20th but ended up having her the 29th. Water is always #1 for energy. Ice water! and lots of cold fruit like watermelon.

Seattle is general raining I notice a huge increase in energy when I catch some sun 30 mins and I feel great. Don't forget to keep cool and drink water and wear sun screen on your belly the sun is a game changer for me. Also I read an inspiring article one about hope and the power of positive thought when I'm feeling crumby and tired. The positive words play in my head during the day and it makes me think healthy alive thoughts (not tired nausea sick etc) I'm over 35 weeks and so far still helping. I also do drink a small iced americano most days. Energy is different for each momma keep holding out you'll get some more energy along the way. Last thing that helps me is do some stretches helps wake up all ur muscles and make your mind alert.
